some ATMs here does eat your card by crashing halfway through the take out-process and not because people walked away to early though. Had this happened to me twice while living here. Like the screen going black or suddenly switch to out of service with my card still in it, while i’m waiting for the cash to come out.
To the OP: is it Easy to open an extra account in your bank? If so, do that and get a card for that account too. If something happens you have a backup card and can transfer funds between the accounts in your online bank or app.
